Introductory Workshops

Engaging Students in International Issues: The Choices Approach

Led by a local Teaching Fellow or a Choices staff member, introductory workshops are designed to introduce teachers to Choices curriculum units and approach. The program fee generally includes lunch and two Choices units explored during the day.

Our workshops are participatory, so come ready to be engaged and inspired!

Each Choices Introductory Workshop Includes:

An introduction to the Choices Program's award-winning resources and approach to teaching about contested international Issues;

A complete immersion in two Choices units (provided); and

An exploration of ways to use Choices materials to meet local standards or classroom goals.

Cost: Most workshops are $145 per person. Price includes two units ($80 value), lunch, and a certificate of completion.
A limited number of partial scholarships are available for pre-service teachers. Districts wishing to register 5 or more educators will receive a discount. Contact Mimi Stephens for details.
